OK.

The client identifier doesn't matter - it only helps distinguish
connections to the SAME server from the SAME client machine, which is
not your case.

What "nb devices"? Can you be very specific here please? I'd like to see the
command lines for the first five clients.

You have to be very sure about this. I am still guessing the device
names are wrong.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly ... can you show me the command
lines for the 5 first clients?

You might be. They are different from the ones used by the kernel nbd
driver. You want to use "nda" and "ndb" where the kernel driver would
use "nd0" and "nd1" (from memory). And present must be also nda1 and
and nda2 etc. and ndb1 and ndb2 etc, for the slave processes.
